40's and 50's

You choose to reach for the top. To head the fund drive. To see the world. So take good care of your eyes.

Your changing eyes

Over time, your vision may change. You may need more light to see. You may have a harder time differentiating among shades of blue and green. And you may have trouble focusing on things that are near.
